.38 Special!!

Figured I might as well put my farmers jack to work.





Works as intended. I have some broccoli and cabbage to harvest in the next week so I will be calling on it again soon.

I agree. Just a bit smaller than my Schrade Walden Farmers Jack, but, makes it easier to pocket.

Found some better light late this evening. The Antique Amber and African Blackwood Farmers:

My two farmer jacks just arrived. Wow! I'm really impressed with this pattern. Lyle, I can see why you are so taken with it. The pick bone on the Lick Creek and the Orchard Gem are both outstanding. I'm glad I got both. I'll try to take some better pictures later on, but for now, this is what I have.

Those of you who have one of these on the way, you won't be disappointed.

If I'm not mistaken, these look like all steel bolsters and liners.... Lyle or Charlie, could you let us know for sure?

Thank you Dave - I did not get the Cranberry Picked bone, but, I do like it a lot. :thumbup::thumbup::)

I had one of those days when it seems everything I did was hard. I took my new knives outside for some pics and took a small microfiber cloth to the Antique Amber Picked Bone Farmers Jack. I was removing some dust, when the cloth grabbed the corner of the shield and grabbed the knife right out of my left hand and it went sailing thru the air. I reached to grab it and knocked it higher, bounced off my right hand, then left, then right, and smacked down on my concrete steps ! I was nearly afraid to pick it up. :o:o

Fortunately, my last try to catch it broke it's fall and it only dropped another foot before hitting the steps. I looked it over closely and noticed numerous scratches on both bolsters, on both sides. I can never remember dropping a knife on concrete before. :o:o:mad::mad:

I was pretty mad at myself and I laid the knife on my work bench and decided to take a short nap. :mad::yawn::yawn::yawn:

I later re-finished the bolsters and they are satin like finished now. At least all the scratches are gone. I felt lucky that the blades and bone were spared. Have not decided if I will buff the bolsters back out or not. It looks good again. :)

I found an Antique Yellow Lick Creek and ordered it today, as I was very impressed with the other two.
 
I'm glad you and the knife survived, Rob!!:eek:
Now this is not a new approach to Primblization is it??:confused:
;)

Good recovery, anyway!:thumbup: and nice quick pics!!:thumbup:

I am insanely envious! Everyone is CEing and CFing, and photographing these knives, and I have yet to get a real time peek! ARRRGGGHHH!!

I sure hope not !!! :eek::D:D:D:thumbup:

Hope my neighbors did not hear my cursing. :o

Hope your stash arrives soon. :)
 
I don't think anyone's posted the backside of the tube yet. Another good story, and I sense another bit of Sarah's whimsy. :thumbup:

I don't recall if this one has made its way here yet but I figured it would go well next to the picture Philllll just posted. I'm proud to own this knife Lyle!

 
The labeling was as special to me as the knife . The artist's rendition on the front label represents actual places and events in time.

Thank you for showing it Draggat.

My pleasure! Might as well show the front since you mentioned it. Looks like a mighty fine place to live life!

 
Lyle
Just wonderful...thanks for the smile in my heart. This is why I love this place!!

Primble
Your pictures astound and do these treasures justice!

Philll
Thank you for everything you offer us on the porch!! Well done with your insight to share the tube with us!!

draggat
Thank you for your Presence:D;)
 
Like a breath of Old School Fresh Air, if you see what I mean?:D:D

Remarkable knives, you are lucky to have been able to get your hands on them.

Also lucky to live in a place where you can harvest your own veg already!

Regards, Will
 
I remember Carl saying once that he had to learn a different way of sharpening for a pruning knife, not just for the curve, but also using a rattail file instead of a stone to get the necessary coarseness of the edge grain, so that it will stay sharp when doing its job cutting plant fibres. Anyone planning on sharpening their hawkbills like this?
 
Thank you Gevonovich. :)

Philllll - Nice cranberry FJ !!! :thumbup::)

The labels are fantastic ! :thumbup::thumbup::)
 
John and all interested:

Hollow out a straight piece of Elderberry(they have a pithy center,similar to styrofoam or an old dried out foam ear plug.They mostly grow around creek banks here.). Next whittle out a ram rod (similar to a gun cleaning rod that has a grip)to fit the hollowed out Elderberry,nice fit,but not tight.

Push wadding( a wet paper wad,fitting tightly) almost to one end. Just start another wad on opposite end,leaving ram rod inserted.Then shove rapidly and forcefully. The vacuum pressure causes the first paper wad to shoot out the end of the popgun.

Elderberry stock hollowed out will also make a flute-like whistle. The fruit makes delicious jelly. Did Elton John mention Elderberry wine?
